You'll find that they'll grow alot better, as each plant has more room and will therefore grow bigger and with less competition, bear more flowers.

As regards to a wire basket We'd put 3 in the top and two in the gaps between in the sides.
I agree with Drobium 3 plants are ample, too many and they will not flower as well. Last year I had a red and a white each in a clay pot and they flowered non stop until the frosts.

Incidentally I read that when planting tubs etc you should always plant three never 4 or 2
